Christopher Sweet posed a series of interesting questions in the last issue. I jokingly said that the answers would make an interesting series of articles. Little did I expect that the extremely knowledgeable John Cook would call my bluff and submit an all-encompassing reply. Just shows what can happen when vou call the A(ge)-Team!

Christopher Sweet asks a number of questions in AoN 20 the first two of which require some detail; the answers to the last three are, sky-blue, yes and no. This, however, does not make very interesting reading! The following, therefore, includes background notes and other information on all five units concerned that may be of interest generally. On the basis that a picture is always worth at least a thousand words, some sketches accompany the text.

The Units:

Regiment de Westphalie
Legion Hanovrienne
Legion du Midi
Garde de Paris
Rheinbund Inf. Regt. 19
